Best Bond Girls
MSNBC ^ | 11/13/06 | Jason Katzman

Posted on 11/13/2006 8:05:17 AM PST by teddyballgame

Halle Berry as Jinx in “Die Another Day” (2002) Bond women aren’t usually appreciated for their acting assets, but Halle Berry brings something to the role that no other Bond girl ever has — Oscar, acting Oscar. Like Michelle Yeoh in “Tomorrow Never Dies,” Jinx is Bond’s equal. Bond first glimpses Jinx, who is an agent for the NSA, emerging from the ocean, skimpy bathing suit and all. It’s an obvious homage to Ursula Andress in “Dr.No” that works. To whatever effect, Berry rises above what may be one of the worst Bond films ever made. C’mon, it has an invisible car. Fortunately, Berry is anything but invisible.

MGM Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp in “Goldeneye” (1995) Perhaps her name should have been Xenia Overdatopp? What else can one say about a woman who gets aroused by murder, especially squeezing men to death between her vice-like thighs? Still, given Bond’s skill at seduction, driving a wedge in Xenia’s evil plan requires great care. They first meet on a mountain road with dueling cars, then in a casino with dueling wit, then in a sauna, with dueling libido. If anyone could get the best of James, it’s Xenia. With her, his manhood is at stake in more ways than one.

My favorite was the woman who played the therapist in "Thunderball". What was her name?

Halley Berry had no business being a bond girl.

She must have the best agent ever if she can obtain that level of work.

but Ursala was great and led the way.

Ursala Andress certainly deserves an individual photo on this thread.
